Fisco believes business should be about making money and helping people. We will respect people and the environment throughout our work. Our aim is to always develop. First of all developing our business while improving general health and happiness, the environment and addressing the needs of people now and in the future.
Part of our everyday work is to try to make sure that we are following this policy. As a result, if we find that we are not, it is very important that we make changes and communicate openly and honestly about our performance. Overall responsibility rests with the Managing Director.
Environment
- Identify and measure the effect we have on the environment at our offices and similarly our customers’ offices/factories.
- Work to minimise the effect we have on the environment, above all our carbon footprint, general use of resources and waste.
(Our environmental policy provides more detail on these principles)
